feat: create roboharness/showcase repository

[MiaoDX]

Context

GR00T N1.6, Pi0, LeRobot, SONIC etc. need to demonstrate roboharness integration, but embedding them in the core repo would bloat it and explode dependencies. Redefines #91.

Priority: Do now.

Scope

1. Org setup

• Create .github repo in roboharness org with profile/README.md (org landing page)

2. Showcase repo

• Create roboharness/showcase repo
• Initialize skeleton: README + directory structure

roboharness/showcase/
├── README.md
├── groot-n16/
├── pi0-libero/
├── lerobot-g1/
├── sonic-locomotion/
├── capx-comparison/
└── .github/workflows/showcase-ci.yml

3. First showcase

• Extract examples/lerobot_g1_native.py as a standalone runnable showcase
• Each showcase directory: README.md, requirements.txt, run.sh, main script

4. CI

• GitHub Actions matrix — one independent job per showcase

Key design decisions

• No git submodules — use requirements.txt + runtime pip install
• Each showcase is self-contained — cd showcase/groot-n16 && pip install -r requirements.txt && python groot_visual_test.py
• roboharness is a pip dependency, not a submodule — always uses PyPI release
• CI matrix — one failing showcase doesn't block others

Exit criteria

Showcase repo has at least 3 runnable showcases (GR00T, Pi0, LeRobot), each with CI.

References

• Redefines feat: Reverse integration — integrate roboharness into upstream WBC repositories #91
• Roadmap: docs/roadmap-2026-q2.md §C
• Org roboharness already exists (no repos yet)

Partial progress: showcase repo initialization script

PR #175 adds scripts/init-showcase-repo.py — a script that generates the complete roboharness/showcase repository structure.

Done

• Root README.md with overview, quick start, design principles
• First showcase: lerobot-g1/ (adapted from examples/lerobot_g1_native.py) with README, requirements.txt, run.sh
• CI workflow (.github/workflows/showcase-ci.yml) with matrix strategy
• Org profile README (.github-org/profile/README.md)
• Placeholder directories for groot-n16, pi0-libero, sonic-locomotion, capx-comparison
• make init-showcase Makefile target

Remaining (requires manual action)

• Create roboharness/showcase repo on GitHub (gh repo create roboharness/showcase --public)
• Run python scripts/init-showcase-repo.py ./showcase-output and push content to the new repo
• Create roboharness/.github repo and copy the org profile README from .github-org/
• Add additional showcases (groot-n16, pi0-libero, sonic-locomotion, capx-comparison)
• Wire up CI for additional showcases as they're added

Additional showcases added

PR #176 expands the showcase init script with two new runnable showcases and improved placeholders.

Done (cumulative with PR #175)

• Root README.md with overview, quick start, design principles
• First showcase: lerobot-g1/ (adapted from examples/lerobot_g1_native.py)
• New: groot-n16/ showcase (GR00T N1.6 WBC locomotion, adapted from examples/lerobot_g1.py) with README, requirements.txt, run.sh
• New: sonic-locomotion/ showcase (GEAR-SONIC planner, adapted from examples/sonic_locomotion.py) with README, requirements.txt, run.sh
• CI workflow with matrix strategy for all 3 ready showcases
• Org profile README
• Improved: pi0-libero and capx-comparison placeholders with detailed scope, dependencies, and references
• make init-showcase Makefile target

Remaining (requires manual action)

• Create roboharness/showcase repo on GitHub (gh repo create roboharness/showcase --public)
• Run python scripts/init-showcase-repo.py ./showcase-output and push content to the new repo
• Create roboharness/.github repo and copy the org profile README from .github-org/
• Implement pi0-libero and capx-comparison showcases when dependencies are available

[deferred] Remaining scope requires manual intervention: all code work within miaodx/roboharness is complete (init script with 3 runnable showcases, CI workflow, Makefile target). The remaining tasks — creating roboharness/showcase and roboharness/.github repos on GitHub, running the init script, and pushing content — require GitHub org-level operations that cannot be performed via automated tools restricted to miaodx/roboharness. The pi0-libero and capx-comparison showcases are also blocked on dependency availability.
